One way I have been able to save a lot money when I was younger was by having people pay for me! I have been able to do this by simply just not having money and then begging people to pay for my food when we eat out. But this method can also be used when going out to the movies.

Now you can also use this trick even if you are not broke. You can have money, and still pretend to be broke. Then all you have to do is beg friends and family and pay for you! I have been doing with great success for many years. It's only recently now that I have not been mooching off other people. Now I make my own money. But I am sharing this tip as it worked for me for many years

That's a bizarre tip MysticMoons, personally I'd sooner not go to a movie or out for a meal, than expect someone else to pay for me. I don't think "begging people to pay" is something many people would aspire to or to implement into their lives.

This is as shameful as it could be and don't think anyone should do that even when they don't have money and its about self respect

This tip got me laughing. This is more like don't try this at home. oh Lord, I wouldn't just try this unless someone ask me out for a lunch and offer to pick the bills.

Personally, i would feel embarrassed having to always beg people i am with to buy me food or pay stuff for me. i feel like at some point people will avoid going out with you since you will never pay for anything. if you want to save you can reduce the number of times you go out or even invite friends over and maybe suggest that each bring a fun plate for your mini get-together.

It even no good idea to keep getting from people especially friends . it will be a parasitic kind of relationship. No. one want a parasite for a friend. You would be drained both financially and otherwise.

It's a very bad way and I see some people do that and they always behave as if they are broke but a shameless way

[Treborika]

I personally don't like the whole idea of begging. I would rather remain hungry than to beg for food

it will just make one lazy since you know all you can do to eat is just to beg. So it is better when don't just start to avoid getting addicted to it.

My teen daughter is doing that. She does not pay a single cent when she dines out with us. It is either me or her dad pays. Family members do not mind paying but a friend would only do so a few times

[Lushh]

This kind of saving comes at a cost many can't afford though. It will put a strain on the relationship with the people. That won't be helpful because the ones spending all the times are going to get frustrated and may even chop you off. After all it's not fair to them. Besides, this has to come with some type of guilt and shame within. Who wants to feel that way?

Until one is labeled a leech. This attitude will give you a bad reputation in no time.

Lol no one want a leech for a friend or family
you just have to share yours when you have as well.

[Starry]

When I dine out with friends, we split our bill. I think it's not fair to ask friends to pay for my share.

[augusta]

it isn't only about getting others to pay for you. How about you also sometimes paying for others. it will be balanced equation.
